Edinburgh’s Newest Cohort of Social Innovators

The first ever Glasgow Good Ideas Class has now finished and its 5 social innovators are working hard to make change. But who are they, and what are they actually doing?

Meet Rhiannon, who is changing the negative image of her neighbourhood through taking control of the narrative and engaging the local community; Brian, who is addressing lack of support and mental health challenges in the E-sport industry in Scotland; Merel, who is working towards a future of socially conscious design and production; Mark, who is making digital strides to simplify ethical shopping; and Petra, who is setting up a local shoe repair lab to reduce the cost of throwaway culture.
